DICK CATcHoN.

Where is the beautiful Sun? We can
tell where the mud is.
We who have to move are imagining
where we will domicile ourselves for
another year. God pity the poor they
have no home on earth only a shelter.
Business is dull Times hard and money
scarce. Many heart will be glad when
the Fools month comes to see us.
We hear that Mr.. Coyle has rented his
shops to other parties for the coming
year We hope them the best of success
and plenty of work.
Our present blacksmith is worthy of Il
better location for business.
Moving day will mingle us with new
ncighbors. We hope there will be moth
ing lost in exchange. We have lived
neighborly together one and all and
trust it may continue.
Fox hunting seems to be the sport en-
gagged in now by hunters, hounds, and
even school boys by the way they enjoy
the chase
Mrs. J. l.. Kaple has been very sick
with dysentery but is slowly improving.
This is a small but very business like
place 1t contains eight houses, one shop
a store, and an ancient ruin. 1t is bound
ed ON the north by Maryland and beauti-
fully surrounded by fields and hills. 1t
has no pavcments nor streets, hut good
wide road with room enough for a queen
to pass by.
1t seems very queer to me that when
people are speaking they often use the
words INTERCHANGEABLE, Strickersvile,
and Thompson's Station, hut seldom

of men ofall trades, and industrious wom-

almost forgot to tell how it was inhabit-
ed But that is the most important Of
all, of course. 1t contains eighteen males
(besides the daily one,) nineteen females,
and number of other things too tedious
to mention. So think it is rather bus
mess like place. and if You wish to please
the people of Mechanicsville don't forget
to mention it with the rest. NJ. NJ. NJ.

That What is 1t ?

The panther that is said to have been
enjoying his meals at the expense of
farmers in this county is now joined by
an animal Of peculiar appearance seen
Wednesday morning near Strickersville,
and fresh opportunities are afforded
farmers and others for pursuing the study
of natural history.
While Chan. Taylor was on his mail
route on Wednesday morning, his horses
suddenly started with terror while just
west of Strickersvlle, and continued to
manifest their uneasincss, despite the eff
forts Of Mr.. Taylor to quiet them. The
cause Of their fright was soon discovered
in the shape of a peculiar looking animal
standing near the road, and which Mr..
Taylor describes as follows: Its size
was that of an ordinary fox hound, but
in shape it was very different, being long
and low. Its legs did not look more
than six inches long. Its tail was about
eight inches long, and very thick and
bushy, especially near the end. Its neck
was not arched, but was on the same no.
rizontal line with the back, and for this
reason its head hung down, its nose be-
ing carried near the ground all the time
Its head tapered considerably. 1t was of
iawn color, the usual color of an Alder
ney COW. didn't see it until my horses
frightened, and couldn't watch it as
constantly rs the passengers of the stage
could, for my horses were anxious to get
away, hut we all agreed as to its appear
ance. 1t seemed perfectly fearless, and
took its own time in moving about.
When we first saw it, it was along the
fence near the brick school house above
Strickersyille used as a meeting house by
the Friends. We hallooed at it, but it
stood its ground, finally moving off leis-
urely behind one of the trees in the yard.
All the while it kept showing its teeth,
like dogs do when they curl their noses
in grin. 1t went Off two or three rods
from us and then came back part ways,
all the while acting the same way. Some
of the passengers said they could hear it
growl. 1t was no panther, but l never
saw an animal like it before, and don't
know what it was. We came on to
Newark and not having chance didn't
tell anyone at Strickerville about what we
saw until towards evening.
Mr.. Pierce Whitcraft, of Strickersville,
saw the same queer-looking beast at his
pig-pen in the evening, He has two
pretty good dogs, but they refused to in
terlere with the intruder Not knowing
anything about Mr.. Taylor's adventure in
the morning, he descibed the animal to
him, the description agreeing with that
of Mr.. Taylor given above.
Are there any naturalists about, who
are seeking an adventure? Here is a
chance for their erudition. Can they tell
a wondering public what this strange
! animal is?

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as well
as relieving the burden of home manu-
features. Especially is this the case with
GREEN'S August ElOWer and BoSchee's Ger
man Syrup, as the reduction of thirty
six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles contain
ing these remedies, thereby giving one
fifth more medicine in the rs cent size.
The 1agua FiOwr for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint and the Gernian Syrup
for Cough and Lung troubles, have per-
haps the largest sale of any medicines
in the world. The advantage of increas-
ed size of the bottles will be greatly APP
preciated by the sick and afflicted, in
every town and village in civilized coun-
tries. Sample bottles for 10 cents re-
main the same size.

Painful Accident.
AIR.

1t was certainly game fox that was
liberated from the Washington Hotel on
Friday, for it led an exciting chase for
five hours which terminated quite sadly
in an accident to james A.. Wilson, pro-
prietor of the Washington House and an
enthusiastic leader in the chase. Mr.. Will
son was riding his horse Fannie across
the field of John McKane, about three
miles southwest of town, in hot pursuit
of Reynard closely followed by several
horsemen, when his horse slipped, pre-
cipitating its rider to the hard ground
with terrific force. An ending was at
once put to the chase and his followers
hastily dismounting and examining him
found his injuries quite serious. He was
removed to the home of John Mckane in
an unconscious condition and evidently
suffering much pain from an injury of his
leg. He was brought to Newark and DR..
Kollock hastily summoned, who states
that he only badly bruised and no bones
broken Anyway MIR. Wilson will prob
ably be glad to learn that the fox was
afterwards caught alive near the Deer
Park Hotel,
